Yes, the user's don't have a .profile. I may have solved the other issue... If I comment out "LANG=" in /etc/default/locale, it works as expected, though I don't believe I should have to do this. That file seems to override the ~/.pam_environment settings.
Logging in as French (fr_FR, fr_CA is not available but that's another issue), and LANG set in /etc/default/locale: marc-cmo-ubuntu:~$ cat .pam_environment LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en marc-cmo-ubuntu:~$ cat /var/lib/AccountsService/users/cmo-testuser [User] Language=fr FormatsLocale=en_CA.UTF-8 XSession=kde-plasma KDE will run as French in this case, but anything that uses LANG will be English. Logging in again will leave English selected when the greeter starts, and appears to keep it throughout. With LANG commented out, when the greeter starts the language selector is blank. Selecting a language causes the proper things to be put into the two files, aside from FormatsLocale. marc-cmo-ubuntu:~$ cat /var/lib/AccountsService/users/cmo-testuser [User] Language=fr FormatsLocale=en_CA.UTF-8 XSession=kde-plasma marc-cmo-ubuntu:~$ cat ~cmo-testuser/.pam_environment LANGUAGE=fr:en_CA:en LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 I think this has drifted far from the original problem I opened the ticket for. I can get the behaviour I want by commenting out the line in /etc/default/locale. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972484 Title: lightdm-gtk-greeter doesn't set language for non-local users To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/972484/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
